Duplas plant to increase output

Dubai, June 10, 2007

Duplas Al Sharq, a Dubai-based plastic manufacturing facility, plans to increase its production by 33 per cent during the current year.

Duplas is a subsidiary of Emirates Investment & Development.

The company has injected a further Dh5 million to the existing Dh50 million plant to enhance its product range.

The move is aimed at meeting the ever increasing demand for plastic bottles in the region, the company said.

Currently, 80 per cent of the company's production caters to the demand from lubricants industries. It is looking to expand in other sectors such as detergents and disinfectants, cosmetics, healthcare, juices, dairy and water, said Mohammed Nofal, general manager

“With the addition of new parts our production capability will increase manifold. We produced 30 million bottles last year and intend to improve our production to 40 million units this year. We have an impressive client list which has local as well as international brands. Some of our clients are Reckitt Benckiser, Dabur International, United Grease & Lubricants, Stanley Trading, Pride International, AXCL Gulf, Emirates Industry for Camel Milk,” he said.

He added as the market for plastic industry in the region is growing at the rate of 15 per cent per year, the company hopes to boost its market share in the region through the new initiative.

Currently, Duplas is exporting only 15 per cent of its output in the region, Africa and Pakistan. It intends to increase thi figure to 30 per cent this year. - TradeArabia News Service
